Northwestern field hockey is headed home from Virginia Beach with a 3-1 record, the squad’s best start through four games since 2014.
The ‘Cats suffered their first loss of the season on Friday in a hard-fought contest against Penn State. After both teams came up empty in the first quarter, NU struck first, as Sabrina Solomen converted on a pass from Bente Baekers to tally her first career goal just after the 19-minute mark.
After nearly 20 more minutes, the Nittany Lions tied it up with a transition goal from Bree Bednarski, who tipped in a shot from Abby Myers and tie the game.
